Ok, my shameless self-promotion is over, and back to what's happening!
If you're a Baltimore Ravens fan and haven't seen this video yet, go HERE right now! And don't worry about my focus points, that's all part of the production process. It's a creativity thing... ;)
If you're not a Ravens fan, sorry, your team didn't ask us to play their kickoff party. :(
On a related note, if you're a Michigan Wolverines fan, go HERE right now and check out our song "In the Big House!"
So I've felt that the last few posts have been a little thin and dry when it comes to actual things going on, so I'll try to remedy that in this one.
First of all, of you are one of those who has brought us food in some form any time at all, but I'm mostly thinking this month just because it's the most fresh in my memory, THANK YOU!!!! It's very much appreciated, and you've made all of us very happy and brought us a little closer to home.
I have a green plastic baseball bat for sale at merch right now for $20, and I realize some may ask
"why the hell are you selling that??" Well the answer is simple: Chachi was running around hitting everyone with it on and off the bus for about a week, and finally Chris got sick of his shenannigans and made everyone sign it and told me to sell it. That got me thinking, how many of you would interested in random nik-naks from our travels along the road if they came with signed pictures indicating authenticity of said object? I can't guarantee that it will happen, but I've been tossing the idea around along with the idea of making jewelry from used guitar strings and picks.
It's raining in Jersey, today, I've been up since 9:30am, and it's definitely the kind of morning that lasts all afternoon, as John Mayer would say. Load in is going to start in a little while, and I'm definitely not looking forward to pushing heavy, rolling equipment up and down wooden ramps in the rain, but that just makes things interesting, right? I'll let you know if anything bad happens.
How many of you are sitting at work right now wishing it was the weekend so you could be out and about doing whatever it is that you like to do when you're not working? I can't say I feel exactly the same, but I'd definitely like to be out in the woods in a big truck splashing through the mud right now!
I'm really a dirty and crazy country boy at heart. Give me a big muddy truck, a tent, a campfire and maybe some hotdogs and a frosty brew and I'll be a happy man.
Tour News:
We've had 2 shows so far on this tour with Kyng and Finding Clyde, Egypt Central joins in tonight at Dingbatz in Clifton, NJ, and if you're nearby, I definitely recommend that you come out, because... well... because I'll be there and so you should come visit me at the merch table and pick up a copy of WAR OF ANGELS!
We've really been looking forward to this tour, and if you remember wayyyyy back to when I first started this blog 3 years ago, Egypt Central was the first national band that we ever toured with, and they've been great friends ever since. You'll definitely see things on this tour that won't happen anywhere else, and that's a promise!
Finally, I noticed over the weekend while we were enjoying a day off at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, a lot of you do not like Krispy Kreme. What's up with that? It's so delicious, and light and fluffy and amazing! I've had a lot of donuts in my day from places like Dunkin Donuts, Tim Horton's, Voodoo Donuts and numerous small, local eateries and bakeries, but my favorite still and by far is Brownwood up in Northern Michigan where I grew up. We used to get bags of fresh dounts before work, and the bags would get all grease-stained and the donuts were warm and delicious. Yummm, I'm starving! But anyway, I think Krispy Kreme takes second place, so to all you haters, you're missing out!
Ok, my battery is in the red, I gotta go. Questions, comments, concerns? Leave me a message here, on Facebook or Twitter! See ya!
